Answer:

The mass of object is calculated as 5.36 kg

Explanation:

The known terms to find the mass are:

acceleration of object (a) = 22.35 $m/s^{2}$

Force exerted (F) = 120N

mass of an object (m) = ?

From Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

or, 120 = m × 22.35

or, m= $\frac{120}{22.35}$ kg

∴ m = 5.36 kg

An object is placed perpendicular to the the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 8,the distance of the object from the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

v = 24 cm and inverted image

Explanation:

Given that,

The focal length of the object, f = +8 cm

Object distance, u = -12 cm

We need to find the position &nature of the image. Let v be the image distance. Using lens formula to find it :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{(-12)}\\\\v=24\ cm$

So, the image distance from the lens is 24 cm.

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{24}{-12}\\\\m=-2$

The negative sign of magnification shows that the formed image is inverted.

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \ m$

The first order of the dark fringe is $m_1 = 16$

The second order of dark fringe considered is $m_2 = 6$

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}$

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

$y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} - \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} - \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = 5 (480*10^{-9})$

=> $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Two boxes (24 kg and 62 kg) are being pushed across a horizontal frictionless surface, as the drawing shows. The 36-N pushing fo

defon

Answer:

$F = 26.04 N$

Explanation:

As we know that system of two boxes are moving on frictionless surface

So here if two boxes are considered as a system

then we have

$F = (m_1 + m_2) a$

$m_1 = 24 kg$

$m_2 = 62 kg$

$F = 36 N$

$36 = (24 + 62) a$

$a = 0.42 m/s^2$

Now since we know that both the boxes are moving together so force applied by first box on other box is given as

$F = ma$

$F = (62 \times 0.42)$

$F = 26.04 N$

Rosa listed some advantages and disadvantages of using renewable resources. Which best describes Rosa’s error?

Vlada [557]

One disadvantage with renewable energy is that it is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity that are as large as those produced by traditional fossil fuel generators

One advantage with renewable energy is that as it is renewable it is therefore sustainable and so will never run out.

I dont know who you are referring to as "rosa" i hope this helps
